Seeing that Bian Lang was so sure, Leif thought for a while and then replied seriously: "Then wait a moment, I will ask the top craftsmen who have permission to use those woods, and by the way confirm the wood you need." Still in stock.”

After Leif left, Lili came over to Bian Lang and asked, "Bian Lang, are you serious about these conditions?"

"Of course, I don't want as many guitars as you do for my collection. I just want the most suitable twelve-string in my mind. I even finished the recording of "No More Hesitation" and it can be used in many live performances later. Got it. What about you?”

Naturally, he had some ideas for customizing this time, but after seeing what was inside the glass wall, he couldn't walk. Compared to waiting for a period of time for customization, he preferred the pleasure of immediate possession. . I just don’t know if the Rolling Stones’ current reputation can make the people at Ovation willing to give up a handful of these not-for-sale items.

"I like that double-ended, six-string flat-top Hawaiian electric guitar!"

Bian Lang looked in the direction he pointed and saw the double-headed Mahogany Hawaiian.

"You can still play that?" Bian Lang was a little surprised.

This traditional Hawaiian dot guitar is completely different from ordinary guitars. When playing, you need to place it flat on your feet, use a metal slide to press the strings, and use a metal fingertip to pluck the strings with the other hand, which is a bit like playing the guzheng.

"I bought a single-headed one before, but I haven't used it much. However, the principle of playing plucked string instruments is the same. I think with your evil arranger nature, there is no guarantee that it will be used one day."

Bian Lang also felt that this was a possibility. After all, playing blues music with a Hawaiian guitar does have an emotion that is hard to let go.

Speaking of this, he remembered the famous blues song "Wonderful Tonight", which is an episode of "Friends". This song was used in the last episode of Season 6 when Chandler proposed to Monica, and the two embraced each other in the candlelight. The background of this guitar As soon as the music came out, I felt that all the beauty in the world was nothing more than this!

The singer-songwriter of this song is also legendary, that is Eric Patrick Clapton!

Original Earth British guitarist, singer and songwriter. He has won a Grammy Award and is one of the most successful musicians of the 20th century, with three achievements in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. He is one of the greatest British guitarists of all time. In 2003, he was ranked fourth among the top 53 guitarists selected by Rolling Stone magazine and ranked rd among the top rock artists. He is also a recipient of the Order of the British Empire.

It is said that this song was written by Clapton before he and his ex-wife were going to attend a banquet. His ex-wife spent a lot of time dressing up. He couldn't wait for his ex-wife to come out of the dressing room for a long time, so he wrote this famous song " Wonderful Tonight》……

"Well, I'll ask him later and see how I can help you get him."

Although Bian Lang didn't have much practical experience in dealing with eccentric craftsmen, based on the plots of some online novels he read in his previous life, he roughly summed it up in four words: "Give them what they like!"

Within half an hour, Leifer came in with a tall, thin old man with completely white hair and wearing work clothes like him.

Before Bian Lang could say anything, the old man looked Bian Lang up and down carefully and said in a slightly questioning tone: "There are so many good pianos here, including 12-string ones, don't you think you can't stand them?" ?”

Bian Lang was not in a hurry to answer, but looked at Leif behind the old man, and saw Leif giving him an OK gesture.

After understanding that the wood was fine, Bian Lang slowly said: "These pianos all have their own stories, but I am not included in their stories, so..." After saying this rather pretentious answer, Bian Lang said Lang spread his hands together with a shrug.

When the old man heard this, he immediately laughed: "Such words are useless to me. If Leif hadn't told me that you are one of the best guitarists in China, even if DGM spoke for you, I wouldn't even bother to see you. You. You must have some special works that need this kind of piano. There are 12 strings here. You can pick one and play it for me. After all, the wood you mentioned is not much, and I don’t need it. I don’t know how many more pianos like this I can make…”

After hearing this, Bian Lang probably understood the old man's idea, which was that if your work is worthy, then I will produce it for you. If the work is mediocre, then don’t talk about it, either find Leif, or just pick one of them.

Bian Lang definitely understands this. It's just a joke that poor students have many stationery. For craftsmen of this level, good saddles and good horses are what they want. Since they can't make a few anymore, then every time they come out, It all has to be paired with a classic, so that makes sense.

Today is like this. Bian Lang thinks this matter will be easy to handle. Bian Lang has a lot of classic 12-string guitar songs in his mind. He uses them in many Beyond songs, but only the timbre has a high degree of adaptability. Not a classic.

When it comes to classic 12-string guitar rock songs, half of Bian Lang's top 10 rankings are made by Worms, but the top three are definitely the Eagles' "California Guesthouse", Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here" and Led Zeppelin "Over the Hills and Far Away".

"California Guest House" is so classic that it's not worth bringing in the old man Hu.

"Over the Hills and Far Away" is played on a 12-string electric guitar, and it's a bit awkward to play it on a 12-string electric guitar.

Since there is going to be a Pink Floyd song later, let’s take out “Wish You Were Here” first.

As for those classic fingerstyle guitar pieces, Bian Lang really needs to practice and memorize them well before he can present them perfectly.

Seeing that Bian Lang didn't say a word, the old man thought that Bian Lang had stage fright. He waved his hands and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Bian Lang said at this moment: "I have a condition. If you are satisfied with my music, the two I also want to take away the flat Hawaiian with the first six strings!”

Hearing this, the old man turned around and frowned and said: "Young man, I, Barret, can only promise you what I can do. I can't decide on that double-headed six-stringed flat Hawaiian. But if you play music, I can If you think it’s good, I can help you go out and fight for it.”

He was already used to Bian Lang's behavior of beating rabbits, and after getting along with him for less than a month, he was completely impressed by Bian Lang's creative talent. He believed that as long as he was writing songs , Xin Bian Lang is right. When Bianlang heard the name Bartlett, he once again felt that there were too many coincidences between the two time and space.

Because of the title of "Wish You Were Here", most people in China on the original Earth used it to commemorate their short-lived love.

Every time he sees this kind of comment, Bian Lang will chuckle and say: "This song is written for Syd Barrett, not for your short-lived love."

As one of the founders of Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett only stayed with the band for 3 years, but he played a decisive role in the formation of Pink Floyd's music style.

And this song was written specifically for Barrett after he completely left the stage and lived a secluded life.

Guns N' Roses even sang a cover of this song during their concert!

Bian Lang remembers that Old Wolf from the original Earth sang this song when he was a guest at someone else's live show. At that time, many people didn't know Pink Floyd and thought it was Old Wolf's new song.

As everyone knows, when this song appeared, Lao Lang was only seven or eight years old.

The intro guitar part of "Wish You Were Here" lasts for 1 minute and 30 seconds, with 12 strings running through the whole thing, followed by Lonely Man's 6-string lead guitar for 30 seconds.

If he had known about this problem in advance, Bian Lang would have taken out the score in advance and let Li practice it, and the first performance would have been perfect.

But there is nothing he can do now. He first plays the 12-string RIFF himself, then leaves it to Qianli to finish it, and plays the lead tone himself.

Thinking of this, he said to Li: "I will do the 12-string RIFF first, and then..."

Before he finished speaking, Dili interrupted: "No problem, my two-headed Hawaii will just watch this wave..."

Then Bian Lang picked a twelve-string and a six-string, tried it a few times and started to tune it, and then played the intro to "Wish You Were Here" under the watchful eyes of several people.

Bartlett admitted that the song was okay, but it was still a bit far from the classic he thought. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Bian Lang handing the 12-string in his hand to Dili and said: "No problem, right?" ?”

"Don't worry, this RIFF is not complicated. I should try it twice and it should be fine."

After receiving an affirmative reply, Bian Lang said to Barrett and Leifer: "I'm sorry, you two, this is also the first time for me to play this piece in public, and it's also the first time for our lead guitarist of the Rolling Stones to hear it. He gets used to it a little bit, and then we get back together."

Upon hearing this, Barrett's interest was suddenly piqued. Even the lead guitarist of his band had not heard it yet, which proved that this song had just been written not long ago. If you have the confidence to play the music you just wrote to him, it proves that you have absolute confidence.

And the person who can let DGM say hello specifically will definitely not be the kind of stupid young man who doesn't know what the sky is like.

With this idea in mind, Bart nodded and said, "Well, I'll wait."

After being familiar with it twice, the two started the formal ensemble.

The level of Qianli is higher than that of Bianlang, but he is not as familiar as Bianlang. The two can play this section on a par.

But as soon as Bianlang's clean and light lead guitar came in, Barrett felt like his goosebumps were falling all over the place.

After closing his eyes and listening to the ensemble for half a minute, Barratt felt that he might have to try his best this time!

Just as he was waiting to hear the rest, the music stopped suddenly.

After closing his eyes and enjoying it, he opened his eyes and saw Bian Lang smiling and pointing at the double-headed Hawaiian inside the glass wall.

Bartlett almost lost his breath, then kicked Leifer and said, "Go, quickly find the person who can decide this matter."

After Leifer found the person in charge of Ovation's London factory, Bian Lang and Li Li started playing from scratch.

When Bian Lang sang the main song: "So, So you think you can tell, Heaven from Hell, Blue skies from pain..."

It’s impossible that the person in charge of Ovation who didn’t know the Rolling Stones was immediately confused: “This, this is the Rolling Stones’ new song? Old Barrett, please don’t refuse. Our spokespersons in China must be the Rolling Stones and Wave!”

　I have been adjusting the update time these days, which is a bit unstable. I will definitely adjust it back to the original 8 a.m. within this week! Congratulations to all readers!
